Twiddling Thumbs...
 

So, judging by the high volume of traffic during a work day... is anyone else just killing time and waiting desperately for a redskin's cut list to be posted?

anyone else besides me that is. I really need to know how bad we're supposed to be next year...

Re: Twiddling Thumbs...
 

I'm the same right now. Just cut someone already!

Re: Twiddling Thumbs...
 

If we cut:
C. Portis
S. Moss
S. Taylor
Any on the Offensive Line
S. Springs
C. Cooley
M. Washington

I will go an bomb Redskins Park myself!!!!

Think positive, That Guy. If we do shed a bunch of guys, hopefully it will provide Gibbs, Saunders, and Williams the chance to mold some young'ns into shape and really show what they can do.

As long as we're not cutting anyone named Jon Jansen, Randy Thomas, or Marcus Washington, I think we can be OK. We'll have to cut a bunch of valuable special teamers, but having Saunders in the fold allows Gibbs to focus on coaching special teams.

I know that's a weak argument, but damnit, I'll be damned if I'm not going to see the glass half full!!!

Yeah, who cares if Portis, Taylor, Brunell, Samuels, Moss, Springs and Cooley are cut? We can easily fill those positions with role players...

I'm skipping class to sit by the computer. I'm going to be here until the cuts are made at 10pm tonight.

jay glazer just said the redskins are being the most creative as far as getting under the cap.he didnt get into it but it sounded encouraging

Fortunately, I planned ahead and did this week's assignments last week so I could take some time off. I would like to be on break though, so I don't miss classes.

I had a fight with my girlfriend! I'm creative.

the number is the savings (in thousands). a rookie costs 235k minimum. anyone that' sasve us less than that by being cut is safe:

Chris Cooley $221
Taylor Jacobs $117
Manuel White Jr. $97

Mark Brunell $-300
Cornelius Griffin $-650
Randy Thomas $-736
LaVar Arrington $-840
Shawn Springs $-1,275
Clinton Portis $-2,247
Jason Campbell $-2,781
Sean Taylor $-3,690
Santana Moss $-5,140
Carlos Rogers $-6,807


in addition, brunell's restructure would increase the penalty for dropping him (drastically) and also assures that jansen (800k), samuels (300k), and washinton (500k) can stay (since they're the 3 most important on the to be cut list). Jansen, thomas, and Samuels also can restructure, which would make keeping them more important since they can provide additional cap relief.

I'm a 2L at Wisconsin. I'll probably be here after graduation too working for Foley & Lardner (they've got a gtown office in a building right next to Sequoia on K street).

Skipped my 1st amendment and evidence classes to be here for the news of the cuts. You?

Re: Twiddling Thumbs...
 

i'm still twiddling... 7 hours left, but wizards are playing at 1, so that should help.

Re: Twiddling Thumbs...
 

A deal may be in the works... or at least a postponement. CHeck out Maske's lastest on the Post website:

Re: Twiddling Thumbs...
 

i'm tired of waiting, these guys need to be more decisive.

Re: Twiddling Thumbs...

If they delay it again, I'm going to become a curling fan.

Re: Twiddling Thumbs...

Re: Twiddling Thumbs...
 

chris mortenson on espn news just said its delayed till 10pm!! 4 MORE HOURS OF WAITING!!!

Re: Twiddling Thumbs...
 

madness growing....

Re: Twiddling Thumbs...
 

Okay, so first there is a Friday deadline, then a 6pm Sunday deadline, then a 10pm Sunday deadline, and now they are talking about a 1 to 3 day extension? WTF! I almost hope the deal falls through and the deadline to get under the cap is 10p.m. tonight. I can't take this crap anymore.

Someone please go into the NFL and NFLPA headquarters and just start smacking people!

Re: Twiddling Thumbs...
